Under the standard articulated in Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 555 U.S. 7 (2008), the Court must find that (1) Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits, (2) they will suffer irreparable harm without relief, (3) the balance of equities tips in their favor, and (4) an injunction is in the public interest. Having reviewed the emergency motion and supporting exhibits, and finding that all four elements are met—particularly that irreparable harm to Plaintiffs’ business reputation and the potential dissipation of client assets are imminent and unrecoverable by ordinary legal remedy—the Court hereby GRANTS the Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Defendant is hereby ORDERED to preserve and maintain in their current form all assets, funds, and property of any kind that are or may be traceable to Bellco Credit Union, Clark Financial, or their clients, and is ENJOINED from transferring, dissipating, concealing, or otherwise disposing of said assets, pending further order of this Court. This Order shall remain in effect for fourteen (14) days, or until further hearing. District Judge sadoimpacto (Entered: 05/05/2025)
